Overall fair to good condition, with minor surface scratches and nicks, the pin and clasp are in good working order, the pin wobbles slightly on its hinge. The sapphires are fairly well matched. The sapphires all show a deep blue saturation, all with minor abrasion, mainly to the central table facet. One sapphire seems slightly darker and of a shallower depth, possibly a replacement. A couple of the sapphires have surface reaching internal fractures. The diamonds are generally of a fair quality and are overall bright and lively, some have minor chips, and are drawing yellow a little more than others.
